The World Health Organization (WHO) stated on Tuesday that the new strain of Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) is not a new pandemic threat. Although further research is needed, WHO’s European director assured that the current measures to control its spread are effective. This strain, which was declared a global health emergency last week, has now been identified in Sweden, the first case outside Africa, contracted during travel to an affected region.
